Finding Something To Read

Hard to find any reading material.  This week I read about high winds and now am reading a book about the Presidents of the US as fathers.  Most were lousy fathers, either ignored their children, spoiled them rotten or were abusive.  Really it should not be surprising that someone who wanted to be President would not be a good parent.  

This week I read a book about Arkansas Tornadoes.  Not a lot in it about the 1927 tornado that blew Daddy's house away.  He would have been Sigrid's age when it destroyed their home.

Margaret Adeline was killed in a tornado that struck Green Forest 18 March 1927. Her son, William Polk Leroy Jones was also killed in the same tornado. Margaret and William Polk were in separate homes when the tornado hit the Green Forest area.

When I searched this picture came up....from an old Blog post.  Patsy commented that it was this storm that destroyed the Powell home.
